Rugrats includes a large array of characters: family, friends, extended relatives, townspeople, and fictional characters. This is a list of characters from the original 1990s Nickelodeon animated television series, its various films, its All Grown Up! spin-off, and the 2020s reboot.

Main characters

Rugrats

Tommy

Thomas Malcolm "Tommy" Pickles (voiced by E. G. Daily, Tami Holbrook in the unaired pilot) is the older son of Stu and Didi Pickles and serves as the series' main protagonist. Tommy, a 1-year-old, is portrayed as remembering the day of his birth in the episode "Stu-Maker's Elves". He lives with his parents and younger brother. Numerous episodes are set in the Pickles family home, focusing on Tommy and his family. In the series premiere episode, "Tommy's First Birthday", he is a 1-year-old and seems to remain that age throughout the entirety of the show. Tommy is the youngest of the babies until the birth of his brother in The Rugrats Movie. As an infant, Tommy is often seen crawling and walking somewhat unsteadily and pigeon-toed. He uses his diaper as a pocket, storing his screwdriver and other things he finds. Tommy is a brave child with a strong sense of justice, always eager for adventure and unafraid to stand up for what is right. His best friends are Chuckie and his dog, Spike. In the episode "Mother's Day," it is indicated that Tommy was born full term, but he was spending the first week or two of his life in an incubator, which explains his bravery and lack of taking life for granted.

Chuckie

Charles Crandall Norbert "Chuckie" Finster Jr. (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh from 1991 to 2000, Nancy Cartwright from 2000 to present) is the son of Charles "Chas" Finster, a widower and bureaucrat, and his late spouse, Melinda Finster, and is Tommy's best friend. Unlike Tommy, Chuckie is clumsy and timid, he rarely expresses any desire to go on one of the babies' adventures, instead listing all the reasons they should not go on one. Whenever Tommy and Dil's cousin Angelica try to bully them, Chuckie unquestionably accepts her treatment and gives in to any possible demands. Chuckie is 2 years old, making him the eldest of the babies, therefore he is the first of them to be potty trained. Like Tommy, according to the episode "Stu-Maker's Elves", it is implied that he also remembers the day of his birth. In Rugrats in Paris: The Movie, Chuckie adds a Japanese stepmother, Kira Watanabe—who later adopts him—and a younger stepsister, Kimi. He also says his first word, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" to the grown-ups when he eventually stops his archenemy, Coco LaBouche from marrying Chas. His character design was loosely based on Mark Mothersbaugh, the lead composer for the series.

Angelica

Angelica Charlotte Pickles (voiced by Cheryl Chase) is the 3-year-old daughter of Drew and Charlotte Pickles, Stu and Didi's niece, and Tommy and Dil's cousin. Angelica serves as the series' antagonist, regularly threatening the babies physically, verbally, manually, financially, or sometimes psychologically and lying to them for her amusement. In her own home, Angelica is an only child who lives with her workaholic mom and busy working father, who shower her with toys and admiration. Without any parental guidance or boundaries, Angelica has largely been left to determine for herself what is right and wrong, with her idea of "right" normally being what she wants. She is materialistic, devious, and self-centered. Though she torments the babies, Angelica stands up for them against others and expresses a genuine desire to be friends with them. The season 3 penultimate episode "Moving Away" explains how she and the babies first met each other, although this episode is presumably non-canon due to contradictions from others.

Phil and Lil

Phillip Richard "Phil" DeVille and Lillian Marie "Lil" DeVille (both voiced by Kath Soucie) are the children of Howard and Betty DeVille. They live next door to Tommy and are fraternal twins, with Lil older than Phil by two minutes. Often named "Lil and Phil", they share many similarities, including the same hairstyle and love for dirt and eating bugs and earthworms. They argue with one another frequently, and they almost always call each other by their full name, rarely ever referring to each other as "Phil and Lil". Looking so much alike, they are often mistaken for one another by adults, with the main facial difference between the two being that Phil's earlobes are attached while Lil's are not. They are both the same age as Tommy.

Susie

Susanna Yvonne "Susie" Carmichael (voiced by Cree Summer) is the younger daughter of Randy and Dr. Lucy Carmichael, and Tommy's neighbor. Her family buys a home on Tommy's street in "Meet the Carmichaels," and their mothers become close friends. Susie bonds well with the babies despite the age difference, considering them her friends. While she doesn't often get along with Angelica, she makes a conscious effort to be nice to her, serving as the voice of reason for Angelica's lies and generally being kinder to the babies. Like her mother, Susie excels in various aspects of her life and has a kind and warm attitude. Her only real character flaw is her competitiveness. She is African-American. While she was the same age as Angelica in the original series, she is 1-2 years old in the reboot, the same age as Chuckie, meaning that in the 2020s version, she was born in 2019.

Dil

Dylan Prescott "Dil" Pickles (voiced by Tara Strong) is the son of Stu and Didi Pickles, and Tommy's younger brother. He was born in the 1998 film The Rugrats Movie and is the youngest of the babies. Dil rarely partakes in their adventures and is often seen drooling, crying, or babbling. Because of his young age, most of the time Dil cannot understand the babies and the babies cannot understand him. However, he does mature in the sequel series All Grown Up!.

Kimi

"Kimi" Watanabe-Finster (voiced by Dionne Quan in 2000–2008, Charlet Chung in 2021–present) is the daughter of her biological father and mother, Hiro Watanabe and Kira Watanabe-Finster and is Chuckie's younger Japanese stepsister. Her mother marries Chuckie's father Chas in Rugrats in Paris: The Movie and he later adopts her, assuming the role of her father. Kimi's boldness enables her to interact easily with the other babies, especially Tommy. She is protective of her young brother, while at the same time encouraging him to stand up for himself. She was born in October 5, 1988. She is Japanese-American. While she was 2 and a half years old in the original series, she is 3 years old in the reboot, making her around the same age as Angelica, and acts as the voice of reason instead of Susie.

Spike

Spike (voiced by Michael Bell in a dream sequence in the episode "In the Dreamtime", Bruce Willis in Rugrats Go Wild) is the Pickles' family dog. Though he appears in almost every episode of the series, he is not usually featured as a main part of episodes. Tommy claims him to be his best "animal" friend. The character is considered a main character in the series, appearing in almost three-quarters of all of the episodes, though he usually does not come along when the Rugrats venture to new locations. It is mentioned in "Spike Runs Away" that his breed is a fictional "Siberian Tiger Hound". As shown in The Rugrats Movie and Rugrats Go Wild, Spike is very protective of the babies as he sees them as part of his family.

Family members

• Stuart Louis "Stu" Pickles (voiced by Jack Riley as an adult in 1991–2008, E. G. Daily as a baby in "Sour Pickles", Tress MacNeille as a baby in "Fountain of Youth", Tommy Dewey in 2021–present) is Tommy and Dil's easygoing father and younger brother of Drew. He is an absent-minded toy inventor who only wants to be a good provider for his family, although he would often act like the titular babies. He is married to Didi Pickles and has been Chas' best friend since childhood.. It is implied in the All Grown Up! special that Stu's birthday is on or around October 23, as his birthday falls on the cusp of Libra and Scorpio. In each Rugrats film, either Stu's actions or inventions help set the story in motion. By the story's end, he somehow manages to save the day.
• Didila "Didi" Pickles (née Kropotkin) (voiced by Melanie Chartoff in 1991–2008, Ashley Rae Spillers in 2021–present) is Tommy and Dil's mother. She is a part-time teacher and married to Stu. It is revealed that she is coulrophobic, just like Chuckie Finster. Didi is also a Russian-Jewish American with two Russian-Jewish parents, and she may have been born in Russia. In the reboot series, Didi became a professional blogger and an artist. Arlene Klasky said that she based the character on herself. Out of all the adults, she takes the child psychologist Dr. Werner Lipschitz the most seriously.
• Grandpa Louis Kalhern "Lou" Pickles (voiced by David Doyle in 1991–1997; Joe Alaskey in 1997–2008, Michael McKean in 2021–present) is Tommy, Dil, and Angelica's paternal grandfather and Stu and Drew's father. Called "Pop" by Stu, Drew, Didi, and Charlotte. Grandpa Lou lived with Stu's family for the majority of the series and often babysat the children until he occasionally dozed off. Originally named Stu Pickles, Sr. in the unaired pilot "Tommy Pickles and The Great White Thing". Lou would often bring up stories of his youth and even bring up historical moments involving his late brother Sparky. In World War II while training for the army, he crippled his right leg on his mattress and was discharged from the army, only to be drafted into the Navy. In the reboot series, Grandpa Lou is depicted as a hippie where he is shown with a ponytail, wearing tie-dye shirts, and often doing yoga. It is possible that in his youth he was a Vietnam veteran. Grandpa Lou's stories tended to be exaggerated and he also had an obsession with the number 15. In the reboot, he was born in 1945, while in the original he was born in 1915.
• Andrew Louis "Drew" Pickles (voiced by Michael Bell in 1991–2008, Timothy Simons in 2021–present) is Angelica's busy working father and Stu's older brother, married to Charlotte. Like his sibling, he is something of a man-child. A well-paid investment banker, Drew does not always get along with his brother, and the two often bicker over petty problems. His catchphrase (when addressing Angelica) is "Princess". Drew is not afraid to put his foot down whenever Angelica gets into trouble and he is usually the one to punish her like not giving her dessert for a week, amongst other disciplinary actions.
• Charlotte Pickles (voiced by Tress MacNeille in 1991–2008, Anna Chlumsky in 2021–present) is Angelica's workaholic mother, the CEO of her own company known as MegaCorp, and married to Drew. She tries to be a good mother but is usually sidetracked by business interests. She is often shown talking on her mobile phone to "Jonathan", who was shown several times during early episodes of the series. Charlotte also calls Angelica by "Princess". She is also seen to punish Angelica if she catches her causing trouble in episodes when Drew is not present. In the reboot, she is a councilperson and their house is significantly larger than the one in the original.
• Elizabeth "Betty" DeVille (voiced by Kath Soucie in 1991–2008, Natalie Morales in 2021–present) is Phil and Lil's mother, a former wrestler, and Didi's best friend. Very athletic and feminist. Married to Howard, she helps operate the Java Lava Coffee House with Chas Finster. In the reboot series, Betty is portrayed as a lesbian single mother. Betty also owns a coffee house in the reboot series, but now as sole proprietor of the renamed Betty's Beans. Morales stated "Anyone who watched the original show may have had an inkling Betty was a member of the Alphabet Mafia".
• Howard "Howie" DeVille (voiced by Phil Proctor) is Phil and Lil's mild-mannered stay at home father who is unemployed. Howie is often overpowered by, and cringing towards, his wife Betty. Though Howard has not appeared in the reboot series yet, he did make a picture frame cameo in "Tooth or Share".
• Charles Norbert "Chas" Finster Sr. (voiced by Michael Bell in 1991–2008, Tony Hale in 2021–present) is Chuckie's father, from whom he inherited his adenoidal whine. He is hinted to be a chess enthusiast in several episodes. He is a bureaucrat and married Kira in the second Rugrats movie where he became Kimi's stepfather. Chas runs the Java Lava Coffee House with his wife, and Betty in later episodes. Stu has been Chas' best friend since childhood. Chas played a minor role in the first Rugrats film and has supporting roles in the second and third. He is a musician in the reboot series. He is just as if as sensitive if not more than Chuckie.
• Kira Watanabe-Finster (voiced by Julia Kato in 1991–2008, Hiromi Dames in 2021–present) is Kimi's Japanese mother and Chuckie's stepmother who started out as an employee at EuroReptarLand. Kira married Chas in Rugrats in Paris: The Movie. On All Grown Up!, she operates the Java Lava Coffee House with her husband and Betty. She somewhat plays the straight woman to the rest of the adults' wackiness, but she enjoys showcasing and trying new things, as opposed to everyone else. In the reboot series, Kira and Kimmie moved from France. While not married to Chas yet, she did become friends with him. Kira works as a librarian.
• Dr. Lucille "Lucy" Carmichael (voiced by Cheryl Carter in 1991–1996, Lisa Dinkins (1993), Hattie Winston in 1997–2008, Nicole Byer in 2021–present) is Susie's mother and Randy's wife. She is a Harvard-educated "wonder mom", and has a job as a doctor, having delivered Dil, and removed Susie's tonsils. The latter would have been unethical in real life since Susie is related to Lucille.
• Randall "Randy" Carmichael (voiced by Ron Glass in 1991–2008, Omar Benson Miller in 2021–present) is married to Lucy Carmichael and is Susie's father. In the original series, Randy is a screenwriter for the famous cartoon The Dummi Bears Show, which, like the show's creator Paul Gatsby, he is not particularly proud of. In the reboot, however, he is a high school science teacher and is much more free-spirited than his OG counterpart, who enjoys playing video games with Stu, Drew, and Chas.
• Louise "Lulu" Jonston-Pickles (voiced by Debbie Reynolds) is a nurse at the local hospital, with whom Lou fell in love. She eventually marries Lou in Rugrats in Paris, thus becoming Drew and Stu's stepmother and Angelica, Tommy and Dil's step-grandmother.

Tommy and the other Rugrats love him. Reptar products such as cars, clothes, and candy are frequently seen on the show. Stu built a Reptar Wagon for Tommy in The Rugrats Movie. Reptar was a main character in Rugrats in Paris and had his own theme park called Euro Reptarland.

• Dactar is a big Pterodactyl who fights Reptar on TV. He resembles kaiju Rodan, ironic since he and Godzia are generally depicted as allies despite their fighting in Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II.
• Thorg (voiced by Phil Proctor) is a giant gorilla and Reptar's enemy. In the episode "Toy Palace", Tommy and Chuckie activate a large robotic Thorg, who chases them through the store, repeating his catchphrase "Thorg hungry! Thorg want eat!"

• The Mole People are Reptar's archenemies. It was mentioned by Tommy in "Jonathan Babysits" that Reptar once dug underground to avoid them.

Mega Hyper Heroes

The Mega Hyper Heroes are the superheroes that the babies watch on TV. The babies imitated the characters by calling themselves the "Mega Diaper Babies". They appear to be based on the Fantastic Four with elements of Captain Planet and the Planeteers, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and the Teen Titans. When four teenagers join their rings together, they become the Mega Hyper Heroes where they work to save Earth and the universe from various villains who would do something like hog the world's oxygen supply, drain the oceans, or blow up the universe.

They are a parody of Boris and Natasha, and their nicknames for Blocky and Oxwinkle is a parody of "Moose and Squirrel".

Susie's father Randy Carmichael was a writer for the show, and in one episode, the babies are taken to a movie theater to see the Dummi Bears movie.
• Goober the Gopher is a friendly, hug-loving character created by Lipschitz Industries as a friendly children's icon resembling Barney the Dinosaur. In one episode, the grownups got rid of the Reptar decor in the babies' room figuring it scared Dil, and replaced it with Goober the Gopher. This led the babies to get Reptar and Goober to fight for who should be the better mascot.

Exclusive to the films

Introduced in The Rugrats Movie

• Scar Snout is a wolf with fiery red eyes, long V-shaped snout full of teeth and sharp claws who appears as the primary antagonist of The Rugrats Movie. It is also a sapient predator with Tyrannosaurus traits and the worst predator in the territory. Not much is known about its origins, though it was a sadistic, heartless and wrathful wolf who is responsible for killing anyone who trespasses into its territory, making it the most terrifying and feared creature in the forest for years. It stalks the babies throughout the movie. In the climax of the film, it tries to eat the babies after it scares the monkeys away until Spike, the Pickles' dog fights it on the bridge. As a result, both of them fall down the bridge where the babies are standing, but only Spike survives the fall, and Scar Snout falls in the river, ending its reign of terror. It's unknown what happened to it afterwards, either that it also survived, or was killed in the river.
• The Circus Monkeys are the central antagonists of The Rugrats Movie. They are a monkey band that escaped during a circus' local train accident. Throughout the plot, they try to take Dil away and kill him. In the climax, they attempt to kidnap Tommy and Dil until they were scared off by the much bigger Scar Snout the wolf during the climax while cornering the babies on the bridge. In the end, they are redeemed and reunited with their owners just as the babies are reunited with their parents.
• The Banana Brothers (voiced by Abe Benrubi and Phil Proctor) are ringmasters of the Banana Brothers Monkey Circus and owners of the monkeys.
• Ranger Frank (voiced by David Spade) and Ranger Margaret (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg) are forest rangers who help the parents find the babies, and the first new characters to see the Reptar Wagon. Frank is cowardly and excitable, while Margaret is more calm and rational.
• Rex Pester (voiced by Tim Curry) is a news reporter who annoys the adults' efforts to find the babies as well as Spike. He mispronounced the babies' names as well as mistaking the Reptar Wagon for a horse. In the finals, when the babies and the monkeys are reunited with their parents and owners, he appears to be injured after his helicopter crashes in the woods.

Introduced in Rugrats in Paris: The Movie

• Coco LaBouche (voiced by Susan Sarandon) is the primary antagonist of the film. She runs the amusement park EuroReptarLand, a Japanese theme park in Paris. Her boss Mr. Yamaguchi offers her the job of president of the company, but only if she learns to love children, to which she lies and says that she is engaged. This sets the climax for the film. The real reason she brought the Pickles and gang to France is so that Stu could fix Robo Reptar. She plans to marry Chas for promotion, but when discovered, the wedding is called off, and Mr. Yamaguchi eventually fires her, causing humiliation. Angelica steps on her wedding dress, causing it to rip to have her underwear shown in front of everyone, including some paparazzi.
  • Jean-Claude (voiced by John Lithgow) is Coco's right-hand assistant. He is loyal to his boss and helps her with the kidnapping of the babies. He usually has the job of telling Kira what to do, and he is more sensible than Coco. Jean-Claude also pilots Robosnail and seems to have fears of dogs as Spike chases him away from the Notre Dame Cathedral.
• Mr. Yamaguchi (voiced by Mako) is the president of Yamaguchi Industries and Coco's boss. He made a cameo appearance in The Rugrats Movie, where his face is in a newspaper article holding a toy design contest, which inspired Stu to make the Reptar Wagon. In Rugrats in Paris, Mr. Yamaguchi appeared in person and planned to step down as president and find a successor who cares for children. Initially, Mr. Yamaguchi is fooled by Coco into believing she loves children and is engaged to Chuckie's father, Chas. This prompts him to pass over the promotion to Coco after the wedding. However, Yamaguchi is unaware that Coco despises children, including Chuckie, and only plans to marry Chas for promotion. In the end, Angelica and the babies interrupt the wedding, exposing Coco's plot and prompting an angry Yamaguchi to immediately fire her.
